Looks like good structure for the fish. Its so far off the coast i see it having more of a positive impact than a negative one tbh. Go down to an oil rig down south or even just a ship wreck right around here and you’ll see that structure like this actually attracts fish. This way we get that same structure for the fish and we can create energy without the risk of an oil spill. With how much raw wind power we have off the coast of new england we would be stupid not to take advantage of it
My beautiful niece! Love you sweetheart and I'm so proud of you!!!
He should be able to fly whatever flag he seems fit on his own boat as long as it isn't inciting harm to others.

Interesting video, reassuring, great technology. Also, a skilled and clear-speaking engineer-lecturer. He'd be a wonderful technology teacher.
I did a job shadow with Ryan. He's literally the nicest guy to do this work. Great job, Ryan!!
Thank you for hosting the New Bedford Light Community Nitrogen Pollution forum. This is an education for many in the area and should be used by each town to highlight the need and the solutions to remediate nitrogen pollution in the rivers, bay and sound. One potential solution that was not addressed is neighborhood and village solutions that use bioremediation as a regionalized solution, where monolithic systems are not applicable. Workable smaller scale solutions have a history of success with John Todd’s New Alchemy that use natural processes within greenhouse settings to reduce nitrogen and improve water quality. I recall visiting their Ecological Wastewater Treatment plants and was impressed with their utility and success. Ecological wastewater treatment companies have since expanded locally. Ecological design has been in use in Europe for decades with great success, with a gentler impact upon the land and sea. These systems are great alternatives for villages, rural locations, and communities with septic systems. With climate change, the impacts of excessive rains and flooding and sea level rise may prompt a rethinking of how our sewerage is handled. It is important that we understand the issues and plan ahead.
I love this nerdy railroad stuff!
Al is good people, I lived next door to him as a kid, excellent scrimshaw artist.
Welcome to the USA - glad to have you!
Thank you what you are doing
I've watched the construction progress here in Fall River, everything seems to be being done first-class. 🙂 As a retired electronics tech, I can appreciate the testing involved.
I’ve met Ryan a few times, great guy! He came up from a locomotive engineer, to where he is now, very excited to have someone with his experience in a position like this!
This is BS that mass is doing this.

Excellent ❤Very Nice🎉
Comments that agree that wind mills are nothing but a joke keep getting deleted. Insane how the media paints these pictures that no one agrees with. Deal with it. No one wants this crap in the ocean besides the people that are getting rich off them. They’re not clean energy as the ocean is filled with fiber glass now. It won’t save anyone money our electric bills will Double. I’m not seeing much of a reason at all to have these built in our oceans. Besides the obvious agenda that’s been happening. Ya know destroy anything that has given people money for the last hundred years. They think they’re going to bring the rich down and all of a sudden the poor will rise up. No one handed the Europeans that showed up on the may flower anything. They had better ideas, they were smarter and that’s why we’re here. Take it away from us and we’ll come up with another way to be on top. Stop wasting your time
These are soooo green. Sharp fiber glass filling the ocean and beaches. Where’s there science now.
*their And science doesn’t belong to anyone. It’s a method to understand objective reality with experimentation and observation and analysis.
U mean the stuff they make boats out of?
Pero ni la muerte los asustan. Pues siganle. Aya ellos💅💅💅💅
it's great you do breakfast and lunch summer program and games and prizes😊
That's so awesome

Hi Mark, Nice to see you as it’s been years. Never knowing i would be facing eviction bc i advocate for our children… its been really hard to do the right thing to only continuously be punished” but’ I’d rather be on the streets than ‘ go along with protecting those who hurt our innocent’ I’m positive about What’s SO PASSIONATE!

PORQUE SE PONEN COMO VICTIMAS SI NO LO SON....CUANDO INVADEN POR LA FUERZA A UN PAIS QUE NO LOS QUIERE. AHI ESTAN LOS RESULTADOS DE SUS PROPIAS DECISIONES....ASUMANLAS....
Muy triste... pero se les dice una y mil veces ... No crucen asi.... utilicen la aplicacion... tardara tiempo en que les den cita si pero es mas segura... Dios les de pronta resignacion a los padres y el mensaje se extienda para que la gente deje de ir a EEUU... El Salvador esta mejorando mucho con Buckele ... apuestenle a su patria
